 * Hi,
 * I am having trouble with a link. I have it in the header of my page. One link
   in “sign up”, linking to a contact us page which is up and running fine. This
   link doesn’t work. When I go onto the website, I can’t click on the words “sign
   up”, whereas the other link, in the same part of the code, login, works fine.
   
   Can you find the error? I have tried many things but none worked so far…
 *     ```
       <div class="login_box">
       <a>/contact-us/" class="signup">Sign up</a> | <a>/login-2/" class="login">Login</a>
       </div>
       ```

 * actually, code didn’t paste well there
 *     ```
       <div class="login_box">
       <a href="<?php echo  get_bloginfo('url'); ?>/contact-us/" class="signup">Sign up</a> | <a href="<?php echo  get_bloginfo('url'); ?>/login-2/" class="login">Login</a>
       </div>
       ```

 * I believe your problem has something to do with the container div clipping over
   the “signup link”.
 * If you inspect the element in browser, you will see that the link is actually
   working.
 * A quick fix would be to add:
 *     ```
       position:relative;
       z-index:999;
       ```
   
 * to the .login_box div in your stylesheet.
 * I hope that helps out.

 * Tilted Square, can you explain the clipping issue and how the z-index changes
   it? I was having the same problem with links not working in WordPress while they
   worked fine if I ran the page in Notepad++. I added the z-index you suggest above
   and my links now work.
 * In the situation above, is giving the div a higher z-index just moving it on 
   top of the signup link? If you’re laying it on top of the link, how does that
   unblock the link?
